All

I play solo in restaurants. I have backing tracks and play my guitar over them

I'm trying to reduce the amount of gear I am slugging around

My thought was to buy an iPad, run my BIAB backing tracks with the Garage Band that comes with the iPad, and use one of those apps for iPad that is an effects processor

So all I would need is my:
Guitar
Adaptor to plug guitar into iPad
iPad with BIAB and Garage band in it
Mixer
PA

Does that sound like it would work?

I'm not a big fan of Garage Band so I use the app called Studiotrack. I think it's around $10.00. I build my song in BIAB, render it to wav file and move it to Studiotrack through iTunes. Once in Studiotrack, of course the song is set up with the corresponding files in different tracks (drums, bass, electric guitar, etc.) therefore I can mix the song on the fly. I then create two new tracks - one for my vocal and one for my guitar. By the way, I am using the Alesis I/O Dock. I can then add effects for my vocals and guitar. Simple ones like reverb and EQ. These are saved per song so they can be different.

The I/O dock has stereo left and right out (and also headphone out). I use the left and right out sending this to two channels in the mixer - panning the first completely left and the second completely right. Both channels have a flat EQ set. This creates the nice stereo sound.

The I/O dock will also power and charge the ipad. I am sure you can use other input devices if you only need one input for guitar only. Most work in Studiotrack and you can look on the website for details. http://www.sonomawireworks.com/iphone/studiotrack/. Studiotrack also has some cool guitar effects as well - both for acoustic and electric.

I think you can also do this in an app called Amplitube which now has a multitrack recording system and endless guitar effects.

Hope this helps and please let me know if I can help more.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
